Default Screeding a floor - revisited

Hi All

Solved the problem of my 5' x 4' porch floor that dropped by an inch over
the length. To big a drop for a standard levelling compound.

Found a self levelling floor compound at a local tile supplier that will
easily take a 40mm difference. The manufacturers don't claim as much, but
the tile shop had a display sample over 50mm thick.

Comes as a 25kg bag and a 5 litre of latex solution.

Consistency of single cream, levelled the area with minimal towelling, set
as smooth as a babies bottom in a couple of hours.

Highly recommended - works on wood floors as well;

Bloody good stuff, I will use it again.
